The Pipeline module is used to support the design of major pipelines of any diameter (for example, 2000 mm) and any length.

The module allows for the extraction of long sections and cross sections against the digital terrain model for the proposed route, plus all the obstructions that run parallel to or cross a corridor of user given width on either side of the centre line of the route.

The joint deflection for pipes of a user nominated length is calculated and interactively displayed along the pipeline.

Earthwork volumes for trenches can be calculated along the selected design line.

The special pipeline longitudinal plots show the existing surface, design pipeline, depth of cut or fill to pipe invert, percentage grades and vertical curve data or deflection angles, and all obstructions.
